Systemic Arterial Supply to the Normal Basal Segments of the Left Lower Lobe: Case Report

been reported in some cases of congenital heart disease, congenital lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary sequestration and hypogenetic lung syndrome, and in apparently normal heart and lung (1, 2). The latter has been described as the rarest form of the condition (3). The basal segments of the left lower lobe are most frequently involved, and this anomaly is therefore referred to as the systemic arterial supply to normal basal segments of the left lower lobe (3, 4). We report a case of this anomaly, describing its characteristic radiographic and operative findings.
